THE FLOOD At MOyTRE1L.

MONTREAL, April 24-Tho flood, which
had reculed about Is inches up to this
afternoon, took a sudden ris at 5 o'clock
and went mp 8 inches at u jump. 1t CON
tinues to rise, and is now higher til III ever.
The whole of the river front, Griffintown,
and Point St. Charles, which contain near
~ all the wholesale stores, factories, and
boundaries, besides Il large portion of the
retail stores, are under water, and business
is practically at Il stand till. The lower
portion of st. Antoine Ward, along which
there i a depression stretching from Vic
tOria-square to nearly the city limits, is
also flooded, the average depth of tho
water being about a foot. On N0tre Dame
street aud ChabOillez,SQu the retail
merchants row into their stores ia boats
and use the counters as landing stages.
Most Of.them had taken no precautions,
and now the bulk of their stock is under
water.
Gangs Of thieves are going around the
fooled district in boats, breaking the
shop windows, and stealing everything
they can lay their hands OH. The police
are patrolling iii boats, and nave already
made a dozen arrests, They had a severe
struggle with some thieves last night, bnt

police boat. On nearing the station the
prisoners attempted to throw the two
~conStableS into the water, and in the fra
cas- the boat was upset. Assistance came
from the station and policemen and prison
erS were pulled out half drowned. Another
man who was being arrested jumped into
the water and made good his escape.
The corporation have provided several
r0w.boats for the salvage corps and the
police, besides the bargeS attached to the
Hooded stations. These boats are mount
Ell oil express wagons, and whenever AN
alarm comes III from the flooded district
the horses are hitched up and driven at q
gallop into the water.
From all points. around the city com
reports of buildings being carried AWAY by
ice, but there has been no loss. of life.
Only one dwelling house in the city has
been destroyed in this way. The family
had moved ont with their furniture the
previous day, fearing that the ice would
strike the house.
1t is reported this evening that the st.
Gabriel police have arrested two men who
were attempting to open the sluice gates
at the tailrace and let in the water that
is being held in check by h~eembankment.
The gates are by no means sound, and if
they give way they Will let in a torrent of
water which nothing can withstand,
Two funerals took place in Griffntown
this afternoon. TIE coffin were lowered
from tho windows into boats and the
mourners followed i'll q string of boats and
RATS. HearSes were waiting on dry land,
and each coffin waSIborne by four men from

pie. Stores of provisions and Nlel have
also been deposited in st. AIMS Church,
and are given out by the priests to all

this Spring as it was last, as many of the
people had made preparations for moving

From the SPECTATOR

The Dublin correspondent of the
Times declares that the fiendish perSe-
cu'ion of the Curtin family in Kerry
still continues. Il is IA year since Mr..
Curtin was murdered and. his daugh-
ters gave evidence of the deed, and
ever since the family have been
r"Irntlessly boycottcd. Worn ont
with the persecution, Mrs. Curtin
endeavCurrd 10 sell the farm, which
the family have held for generations /;
but no n would buy, all bidders
being warned to beware of Mr.. Cur
TINS fate. She then tried to let the
land in portions; but no one will take
any, as the last carelaker was com
PEELED by mOonlighters to take oath
that he would leave. The black
smith is not allowed to shoe her
horses, and Il snopkeeper who sup
piled her with goods was denounced
in public pIacnrds,- "a sentence of
death or ruin. The family nre escor-
ted wherever they move by armed
men, and their servants arc insuIted
at the chapel door as the "~slaves of
mnrderers." The Curlins have literal
ly done nothing, except suffer from The
murder of a husband and father; but
the men who keep up these %rrotrncted
cruclIles, and the Members who
approve lhoir conduct, are unanimous
in declaring that the Crimes Bill,
which will make them punishable,
intcrferes with Irish freedom!

EETECSIAsI.

There are few things oGltoE0thaE
lovely as enthusiasm, and it helps
cause wonderfully. Therefore
the saints make a great show OF
having plenty Of il. To the sin
ners, it IS somewhat difficult TO
discover the grounds Of the appar-
rent enthusiasm, a tie Picayune
and Shreveport Times appear 10
have monopoly Of that article.
There, somehow don't seem 10 lie
any echo to their cries. They fall
Fat, as it were. and no responsive
cries are heard. 1t may be that
the balance Of tie gang has not
reused up yet; that they are get
ting & good ready, and later on
they Will join in and make things
lively.
The sinners have not yot discoy-
cred what all the enthusiasm IS
about, anyhow they have not seen
anything, as yet, to justify it, and
in fact are inclined to doubt that
there is any enthusiasm. 1t is too
strained and far-fetched to be gen
uine, and the sinners have not be-
come fiustered or agitated over
The great Nichols boom. Well

ADVERTISING Rates

The Alexandria Town Talk tool
occasion, lately to open UP on the
question Of advertising rates. Il
said that asking So for an adver-
tisement, it was confronted with tie
statement that papers having a cir
culation (claimed) as large as that
that Of the Town Talk had taken
the same ad for s. and SO And
the Town Talk advised the Press
Association to do something prac-
teal about matters Of THIS kind.
The TINES has had some ex-
perience in that line, and has re-
fused enough ads at similar rates
to load up two papers, and has
practically retired from that line
Of business. The TINES put
card in Rowell's Annual and in
Ayers, and got a bushel or two Of
communications asking for the in
sertion of ads at about oue-fourth
OF what they are worth. Two or
or three were accepted to pay for
the cards then thecards were with
drawn and the TINES retired.
That other papers accepted many
of these ads is clear, from the fact
that about the time they were Of
fered to the TIMES, they appeared
in a number of exchanges. In
stead of giving low rates to the
home advertisers, the press ap-
pears to reserve It's benefits cor the
cheap display OF cuts Of disgusting
advertisements, many of which !
should have no place in a reputa- |
bic journal. The Press Associa- |
ton could very properly take this |
matter Up, and, at least try, to |
remedy it. The TINES will Join !

to those "Sufferlng Children" Our town
sent them to Ironton thinking the proper
authorities would take charge Of them, but
it seems they would not do anything for
them. I think it would have been a good
plan for Wayne county to have taken charge
of them last winter, as they were in Pied
mont most all winter, and depended upon
the charity of the people for living. Such
things ought not to be. say let the coun.
ties take care of the helpless, and then the
burden will not fall SO heavily upon few.
